His Cryptographic Algorithms course covers asymmetric encryption (RSA, ElGamal), digital signatures, elliptic curve cryptography, and human factors in security vulnerabilities. The Compilers course emphasizes modern compiler architecture (front-end, middle-end, back-end), LLVM IR implementation, and hardware-specific optimizations. Both courses combine theoretical instruction with hands-on laboratory work.
